1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother to dream it because you can't build it., November 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Trek: Starship Creator (CD-ROM)

You can't mix and match parts from different ships or rearrange the how the parts fit together. You only get three options for each standard part on each ship. The Missions are sit back and watch .........until you grow old. There is absolutely no interaction between you and the mission. I will never buy anything from this software company again. Star Trek should never have licensed their name for this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars not as bad as everybody says, January 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Trek: Starship Creator (CD-ROM)

most evrybody who has this game basically says that it's a bad game with a few nice points. but, i think it's a good game, with a few weak points. the music is AWESOME. you'd think John Williams directed it! i must admit, the selection of starships is rather low, and when i heard about the game, i thought i could mix, say a sovereign-class nacelle with an intrepid-class saucer. turns out ya can't. but, you can come up with some pretty different designs. and, after the deluxe version, 3 more classes, 2 being extremely awesome! is starship creator slow? not for me, but my comp. has 333 mhz and 64 RAM. maybe it just works better on Macs, i dunno. don't evn think about getting this if you don't know the trek world, but if you are a hard-core trekkie, i strongly recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great premise, short on action, February 4, 2000

This review is from: Star Trek: Starship Creator (CD-ROM)

Being an admitted Trekkie, I was excited to try Starship Creator to try my hand at creating the ultimate starship and blasting some pesky Klingons. The problem is, there are a lot of obstacles in the way of accomplishing this. The game touts itself as a "starship creator," with several class types to mix and match from. In actuality, you have a few ship types and a few customizeable options for each. It doesn't allow for too much creativity. And my dreams of teaming up James T. Kirk with Jean-Luc Picard were dashed. When selecting a crew for your ship, you can only choose a crew from the ship's time period. For example, only characters from the original series can fly in the original Enterprise ship class... Kirk cannot be selected to pilot the ship classes from Next Generation or Voyager. Thus, Kirk and Picard can not serve on the same crew, or Data and Spock, or Sulu and Janeway. This took a lot of the fun out for me. The missions you fly with the ship are simply brutal. There's precious little action and it takes a LONG time, even with the time acceleration on. So I'd say even if you're a Trek fan, I'd be careful of this one.
